Since our formation in 1999, MicroHAMS has put on MANY field day efforts. Some large, some small. Some of the sites included the roof top level of the building 40/41 parking garage, the old campus recycling area and Farrel-McWhirter Park in Redmond.
During the pandemic, we leveraged both field day rules and virtual meeting tools to have field day together as a group and have the same sort of fun we enjoyed at physical field days: midnight troubleshooting, teach members new things, and generally having a great time and holding true to the spirit of field day.
In 2024, we were invited by the Boeing Everett employee's amateur radio club BEARONS, to join them at a wonderful site in Eastern Snohomish county and once again had a GREAT field day together.
In 2025 we again take to the same site to put on a a field day for everyone to enjoy.
We operated under the call "W7FLY". 3A plus VHF (6m, 2m and 70cm) with a vertical and two wire dipoles up at 62' and 80+'. We had a great time and great weather (it was "too hot" on Friday, but we all had fun!) Plenty of space for on-site camping, great food, and really good band conditions for the entire 24 hours.
